Married 1863 in Missouri
The Weekly Intelligencer, April 04, 1896
Lexington, Mo.
DEATHS
Died, at her home in Junction City, Kansas, March 29th, 1896, Mrs. Martha A. Ketner, nee Palmer, in the 58th year of her age.
Death in making his first visit to this dear family of father, mother and five children, chose as his victim the best and of their number and made the widest breach in the family circles.
Mrs. Ketner was the youngest daughter of the late Isaac Palmer, who died in our city a few years since, and is the sister of Mrs. Dr. T.L. Bolton and Mrs. J.E. Ryland, now living in our midst. These two good women are the sole survivors of a large family, all of whom we devoutly hope and believe are at rest, having died in the Lord.
Mrs. Ketner was one of the brightest, more cheerful and happy women that ever lived and graced our community. She was one of that host of charming young women who made Lexington the rival of any town for fair women and brave men in the fifties. She was married to Major James Ketner, of Leavenworth City, a dashing, gallant young office for the first regiment of Kansas volunteer cavalary, in the year 1863, and made her bridal trip to Vicksburg, Mississippi, where her bride groom's command were, where she enjoyed the pleasures of her early married life with the husband of her choice, and shared his dangers and the hardships of the soldier's life. The war closed and with glad, grateful hearts, they returned to the city of Leavenworth where he engaged in the practice of law. Remaining there a number of years, they then removed to Junction City where she closed a long life. She was spared to see all her children grown. Having left the impress of her own gentle nature upon each of them, God has taken her to himself.
The stricken husband and mourning sons and daughters have the sympathy of the numerous friends of the deceased, who live in this community and who knew and loved the departed. May they so live and act as to meet the reward that awaits the just.
